Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hourly monitoring detects infiltration early, preventing complications. Heparin isn't routine, site changes are typically every 72-96 hours, and once-per-shift checks are insufficient.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and a new prescription for glipizide. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Alcohol can enhance glipizide's hypoglycemic effect, risking low blood sugar. It's taken before meals, doesn't increase urine output, and BP monitoring isn't specific to it.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring temperature hourly detects transfusion reactions early. Dextrose damages blood cells, 2-4 hours is standard, and dual verification of blood type is required.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia and a new prescription for oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Adding humidity prevents nasal dryness from oxygen. Taping all connections isn't standard, snug securing may irritate, and coughing frequency depends on condition.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation and in active labor. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fetal heart rate monitoring assesses fetal well-being during labor. Catheters aren't routine, analgesics depend on stage, and ambulation may not suit active labor.
